The Garden of the Groves is named after Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Groves. He is one of the founding fathers of the city of Freeport. The botanical garden spans about 12 acres and has undergone numerous changes over the decades. It remains one of my favorite places on Grand Bahama to spend a few hours.

There are several events hosted at the Garden of the Groves throughout the year. These are a few pictures from Spring in the Garden, it's held annually in April. In addition to the restaurant and souvenir shops that are always open, there were tables set up with local vendors selling their wares.

While checking out the little shops, I splurged on a bar of organic peppermint soap. Peppermint is my favorite restorative scent. At $9 a bar it was kind of pricey, but I suppose that's to be expected in a tourist spot. The soap is wonderful though, so I don't regret my purchase.

Kamal and Owen and I also bought a treat from the Sweet Affairs table. I had a carrot cupcake that came in a tiny basket. It was delicious and the little basket was too cute to pass up. Owen and Kamal had big Rice Krispy treats with fancy icing.

We had a really nice outing and the boys were good sports for letting me take their picture and waiting while I kept stopping to take lots of others too.
